The elephant Tai was caught in Zimbabwe and transported to the United States to work in a circus. In 1994, after 20 years of captivity and torture, Tai's patience reached its limit in Honolulu, where she broke through the barriers of the ring and quickly headed for the exit. She chased clowns and trainers, overturned cars and then broke out into the streets to escape from slavery.
The police shot her 86 times before she died. She was dying for 2 hours.
The next time they tell you that animals like to work in circuses - remember this photo, how much panic, pain and impotence there is in those eyes.

One of the main myths about knights is their clumsiness.
The armor of the Late Middle Ages was really heavy. But 20-30 kilograms, and even distributed throughout the body, is a fluff that any modern soldier will confirm. Moreover, the armor was adjusted according to the anatomy and they bent perfectly wherever needed. In general, the knight could run safely. The exception is tournament armor. They were made harder so that no one, God forbid, would be killed. But they also jogged around calmly.
